I have to believe that with each transplant, whatever the outcome, a bit more knowledge is gained, allowing future transplants to be more successful. I recall reading that 40 years ago BMT survival was something like 5-10%.
So for the brave warriors like Cam who go for a transplant knowing the risks, even if they loose their battle, they have not died in vain. Just like the donors, they too are heroes.
